To the Commissioners of Queen Anne's County:

 I find the latest ruling disqualifying the subject referendum to have a certain stink about it.  As representatives of all the citizens in this county, the Commissioners should be sensitive to the fact that, regardless of the legal technicalities, this latest development smacks of manuevering to deny the will of what may be a majority of your constituents. Moreover, it appears that the County and its offices are working behind the scenes to favor the interests of a big development corporation instead of its citizens.

The fact that the County clearly advertised its previous ruling as subject to hearing and public referendum, watched the referendum unfold, and now says, oops, those aren't the rules afterall, is the epitome of bad faith.

It is clear from this latest action and most of the other public processes I have witnessed or attended lately in the county, that the county leadership is increasingly out of step with a sizable and growing part of its constituency.  This is very troubling.
